UPDATE (gave more specifics -- see blue highlight)

FYI ... since I have "been there" and learned: I took profits today on my TNA trade. Got in yesterday at 38.38 and exited today at 42.02. Triggers: 10MA < 20MA on 5 minute and stochastics on the 15MA hit 78. Note: I use a 144/3/3 parameter on 15MA stochastics. Key to profits is discipline/patience. I'll wait to get back in when stochastics move lower than 20 again and then come up again above 20. Otherwise, I'll just go enjoy my day now and enjoy my profits. Have a nice weekend!

Thanks SK! Do you mean the STO for the 15 min chart (instead of 15 MA) ?

Oops! Indeed, I made a mistake. Yes, I meant on the 15 min chart. I do that kind of stuff all the time! Think I'm dyslexic!! This parameter makes a HUGE difference. I learned it from some other stockcharts.com trader and it works for me.[/quote]

Very cool. I will check it out. I know that customizing the parameters on indicators can produce some useful extra info. Lengthening the number of time periods on indicators is a common modification. For example, I heard of changing the number of periods from the usual 14 to 40 for the Williams %R on the 5min chart. This produces fewer hits when they reach the overbought/oversold line but then they do, they may be more robust. Fewer false positives.

I hear the Greece bailout has been approved.

Right, $8 billion euros, old news though

I don't like today's market. Not sure if this of concern to anybody but me, let me explain: normally I operate with the pivots at the precise point where a channel breaks. I use these pivots for Andrews Forks, Fibs, Fans, Ellipses - anything. And it works - not always, but most of the time. The market finds its new direction at the channel breaking point and fans out from there.

But today things went awry. It took me about two hours to notice that my system was not working. Didn't lose much money, but I'm because in general my system works. The algos are out of sync today...

Can you give details of the method ? Thx

bull bar and break on the upside, let's see how far this rebound goes, feels strong though.

[pady]

Two alternates. Up or down...

123.2 retest time..

Tried to break through 123$ twice and failed so in my opinion it won't make it for now.

Target has been reached.

Think 123.6. Just thinking correction as an ABC. If flat, then we go to highs of the day ???
